This article doesn't provide any reasons why a property owner should want lower property taxes; why would you want to constrain prices and prevent speculation? I don't own any property myself and am sympathetic to the idea of rais

Postgres can do it, you're correct, but in my experience it rarely happens with any view that's even slightly non-trivial even on recent versions of Postgres. Most views with a join break predicate pushdown. It greatly reduces the

Views can really bite you performance wise, at least with Postgres. If you add a WHERE against a query on a view, Postgres (edit: often) won't merge in your queries' predicates with the predicates of the view, often leading to lar

Jarred's been working on bun for over a year. I don't get the sense that it's a reaction to anything recent at all, Jarred is just super passionate about building the best JavaScript runtime.

Pretty sure turning on Keyless driving is separate from unlocking/starting the car with Bluetooth. To do it requires the Tesla account password and I believe is relayed via the LTE connection of the car.

That's not quite right. We're talking about the type of the integer, this doesn't have anything to do (directly) with cryptography. It's a bit of a silly decision but Ethereum uses uint256 for many things to avoid having
